The David Canter Memorial Fund 2008 Craft Awards

Deadline: 19 September 2008

The David Canter Memorial Fund offers awards to give financial assistance to those working in the Crafts - for special projects, travel for specific research and for educational work. Awards are made every other year, each time focusing on a specific craft discipline. For 2008 this will be wood.

Grants, which usually range between £500 and £1,000, are available to those who have finished their formal training, and are working full- or part-time, but need funds for special projects such as setting up a workshop, buying equipment, or for research and travel. Grants are not available to students, or for those working in the field of fine arts.

Application forms for 2008’s awards are now available. Applications should be made by submitting the completed form, together with six images of recent work, by 19 September 2008. Successful applicants will be notified in October.

For full details and an application form please write, enclosing a SAE, to Rachel Mackie, The David Canter Memorial Fund, c/o The Devon Guild of Craftsmen, Riverside Mill, Bovey Tracey, Devon TQ13 9AF or email rachel.mackie@crafts.org.uk.
